In the latest episode of the On The Rox podcast, The Denver Post’s Patrick Saunders catches up with Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray, who gives his thoughts on a new nickname for the Rockies starting rotation. He also talks about his offseason, how he dealt with the Wild Card loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks and how his demeanor changes when he’s on the mound.

Finally, Patrick closes out the show with his thoughts on the upcoming contract situations with the Rockies all-star hitters, Charlie Blackmon, DJ LeMaheiu and Nolan Arenado.

The hard-throwing right-hander Carlos Estevez, who has designs on being a late-game reliever for the Rockies, had "a little setback" with his injured left oblique and won't be ready to open the regular season.
